You only need a simple majority to change senate rules, so you need to convince 4 Republican Senators and 2 Independents, and I think there are maybe 1 or 2 Democrats who might need some arm twisting.
people are just pissed and venting about past inaction, is it useful? no, but I think the frustration of your country turning to fascism after Bernie’s electoral chances were sabotaged is understandable
Get the impeachment going. Even if it fails (it will), the members who vote against it will be noted in time for the time of the midterms. Do it a few times and you can establish a pattern.
Not sure what you’re thinking is going to happen right now when dems are a minority in the house and senate.
What did Mitch McConnell do when the Democrats had a supermajority under Obama, sit with his thumb up his ass?
Mitch McConnell had the benefit of dealing with weak, spineless Dem weenies who would roll over for him, even though they had majorities.
MAGA Nazis aren’t going to be cooperative.
Well it’s a sure thing that nothing will happen if they don’t try.
He filibustered.
Cabinet Appointments cannot be filibustered under current senate rules. Same for SCOTUS judges.
He did filibuster Public Option into the grave, though.
Since when did the Republicans give two shits about some bullshit “senate rules?” They just change that shit whenever it suits them.
So do the same.
Sure that’s a swell plan, sport.

be specific. he also wanted obama to have a single term. That didn’t happen.
The Republicans broke the record for obstruction under Obama. We need that to happen right now under Trump.
We need a left Tea Party.

wtf?
Bernie ran in pretty successful but also lost the primaries by some pretty sizeable margins.
i actually didn’t read into it, I’ve just always heard the narrative that the DNC snubbed Bearnie, did the propaganda catch me?

See, your whole “right now” thing is a worry. It implies a belief that the Democrats will ever be allowed any semblance of power in the future.
